Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     A French Paper has the following; “At Balaklava, every day, the bands of the garrison give concerts in the square. The birds, who know very well the hour when the musical soiree in the open air commences, assemble in innumerable multitudes upon the trees and roofs of houses. The first piece is heard in profound silence; but the moment the second piece begins, the winded songsters join in, and make such a hubbub, that a flute or oboe can scarcely be heard twenty feet off.”
